1 Peterson-Kaiser Health System Tracker How do U.S. health care resources compare to other countries?

2 Peterson-Kaiser Health System Tracker Source: Kaiser Family Foundation analysis of 2013 OECD data: "OECD Health Data: Health care resources", OECD Health Statistics (database). doi: 10.1787/health-data-en (Accessed on September 10, 2014). Notes: In cases where 2011 data were unavailable, data from the countries' last available year are shown. The U.S. has fewer acute care hospital beds per 1000 in population than many comparable countries Acute care hospital beds per 1,000 population (2011)

3 Peterson-Kaiser Health System Tracker Source: Kaiser Family Foundation analysis of 2013 OECD data: "OECD Health Data: Health care resources", OECD Health Statistics (database). doi: 10.1787/health-data-en (Accessed on September 15, 2014). Notes: 2010 data is the most recently available data for this indicator for the United States Hospital density is decreasing at a faster rate in the U.S. than in comparable countries Hospitals, per 1,000,000 population, 1995 - 2010 Comparable country average United States

4 Peterson-Kaiser Health System Tracker Source: Kaiser Family Foundation analysis of 2013 OECD data: "OECD Health Data: Health care utilisation", OECD Health Statistics (database). doi: 10.1787/health-data-en (Accessed on September 10, 2014). Notes: In cases where 2011 data were unavailable, data from the countries' last available year are shown. Patients in the U.S. have much shorter average hospital stays than patients in comparable countries Average number of days in the hospital per visit (all causes) (2010)

Notes: In cases where 2011 data were unavailable, data from the countries' last available year are shown. There are fewer doctors per capita in the U.S. than there are in most comparably wealthy countries Physicians, density per 1,000 population (2011)

6 Peterson-Kaiser Health System Tracker Source: Kaiser Family Foundation analysis of 2013 OECD data: "OECD Health Data: Health care resources", OECD Health Statistics (database). doi: 10.1787/health-data-en (Accessed on September 10, 2014). The U.S. consistently has fewer doctors than comparably wealthy countries Physicians, density per 1,000 population (2011) Comparable country average United States

7 Peterson-Kaiser Health System Tracker The U.S. has the highest percentage of specialists among comparable OECD countries Source: Kaiser Family Foundation analysis of 2013 OECD data: "OECD Health Data: Health care resources", OECD Health Statistics (database). doi: 10.1787/health-data-en (Accessed on September 10, 2014). Among [practicing] physicians, 2012 (2011 where 2012 not available)

8 Peterson-Kaiser Health System Tracker Source: Kaiser Family Foundation analysis of WHO Global Health Observatory data Note: Data not available for numbers of psychiatrists in Belgium, nurses in Switzerland and Austria, and psychologists in Germany. The U.S. has a lower number of psychiatrists per 100,000 population than most comparable countries Number of professionals working in mental health per 100,000 population, 2011

9 Peterson-Kaiser Health System Tracker Source: Kaiser Family Foundation analysis of 2013 OECD data: "OECD Health Data: Health care resources", OECD Health Statistics (database). doi: 10.1787/health-data-en (Accessed on September 10, 2014). Notes: In cases where 2012 data were unavailable, data from the countries' last available year are shown. Compared to other wealthy countries, the U.S. has a similar number of nurses per capita Nurses, density per 1,000 population (2012)

10 Peterson-Kaiser Health System Tracker Source: Kaiser Family Foundation analysis of 2013 OECD data: "OECD Health Data: Health care resources", OECD Health Statistics (database). doi: 10.1787/health-data-en (Accessed on September 10, 2014). The U.S. consistently has had a similar number of nurses per capita as comparable countries Nurses, density per 1,000 population Comparable country average United States

11 Peterson-Kaiser Health System Tracker Per capita, the U.S. has three times as many MRI machines than comparable countries on average Source: Kaiser Family Foundation analysis of 2013 OECD data: "OECD Health Data: Health expenditure and financing: Health expenditure indicators", OECD Health Statistics (database). doi: 10.1787/health-data-en (Accessed on September 10, 2014). Notes: In cases where 2013 data were unavailable, data from the countries' last available year are shown. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) units per million population (2013)

12 Peterson-Kaiser Health System Tracker Source: Kaiser Family Foundation analysis of 2013 OECD data: "OECD Health Data: Health expenditure and financing: Health expenditure indicators", OECD Health Statistics (database). doi: 10.1787/health-data-en (Accessed on September 10, 2014). The density of MRI units has increased more rapidly in the U.S. than in comparable countries Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) units per million population

13 Peterson-Kaiser Health System Tracker More availability of medical technology does not always equate to higher utilization Number of MRI units available per million population (2012)Number of MRI exams performed per 1,000 population (2012) Sources: Kaiser Family Foundation analysis of 2013 OECD data: "OECD Health Data: Health care resources", OECD Health Statistics (database). doi: 10.1787/health-data-en (Accessed on September 10, 2014). Notes: In cases where 2011 data were unavailable, data from the countries' last available year are shown. Some countries, such as Japan, are omitted because data are not available for both indicators.
